It seems that PSG may soon submit an offer for Dusan Vlahovic. This is at least the latest news animating the hot days of July, while Juventus’ market is substantially still at a standstill.
Former manager Michele Padovano commented on the rumours of possible PSG interest in Vlahovic to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel. “I would keep a player like Vlahovic: he has physicality, he is good and he is very young,” admitted the 56-year-old from Turin. “PSG might really want him, but Vlahovic is to be kept, and we have to start from him. But if he leaves, he will be replaced properly. “
“With a Vlahovic-Lukaku swap you certainly don’t fall foul of the trade,” commented the former footballer again, disassociating himself from the words uttered by his old colleague Ravanelli, who a few days ago, again to calciomercato.it, stated that he saw Lukaku as inferior to the Serbian. “Lukaku is another great player. He would do well. But Vlahovic is young and can grow. Strong players should always be kept. Personally, I trust Giuntoli a lot. “
“The same goes for Chiesa, but they know the dynamics of the football market. You would need to be on the inside to know more. We need to get young players and maybe Italians.”
“Scamacca cannot replace Vlahovic,” continued the former striker. “You need a player of another calibre, like Lukaku. Scamacca is not at that level. Then of course the beauty of football is that it always manages to surprise everyone, in my opinion Giuntoli would not do such an operation. “

“I won’t go into the question of Pogba’s replacement because they don’t need my advice: the ownership is a guarantee on a par with the five-year contract given to Giuntoli. They will certainly replace him worthily,” Padovano said. “This is a bit like year zero. Juventus has victory in its DNA, and it will pass it on to everyone. It will go back to being the one we all know. “

“If I were Juventus, I would push Pogba to Saudi Arabia. He’s not the Pogba he used to be and he shouldn’t be taken back, the Saudi proposal should be evaluated very well, especially by the player. In the end he will accept it and leave’.
Regarding Allegri, Padovano admitted that there is a problem with the Bianconeri supporters. “The fans are not happy with Allegri’s work, but last year the game was played more in court than on the pitch. This year we will start again and the objectives will be clear. There will be no cups and he will be able to work, therefore, all week with more serenity’.
“Juventus hasn’t won since Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Buffon left. We need an Italian hard core, we should go back to those steps there to get back to winning ways. Giuntoli tried to get Frattesi because he is another very good player, that should be the line. This year there will be fun to be had. “
